battery tender pigtails

[papi_ocho]

is it possible to plug "other" things to this?

I would love to wire a socket! for gps,phone,pocket rocket, u know whatever I may need power for!

I'm not tring to wire an RV's worth of stuff but I do know that our electrical system can withstand a lot

I don't know if the tenders' pig tail can hold up to the requirments that...say a GPS will need!!

any input would be great!!
the pigtails I'm using are fused.

A GPS doesn't draw much current. The tender pigtail is more than adequate for that.

If you can find the connector, maybe Radio Shack............ GPS and most electronics; not a problem.

Yes you can. Make sure you replace the fuse for one rated to handle whatever you are going to use with it. I replaced the fuse in mine with a 20A rated fuse. I plug heated gear into the plug when I ride in cold weather.

Yep--I plug in a "cigarette lighter" socket and power my Sirus radio.

^ like they said, I have a cigarette socket for mine. I think battery tender made it, but it's easy enough to make it. You can buy the connectors for radio shack or the like as well as the socket. Just make sure you get the polarity right.

I use it for the GPS and/or charging my phone. As long as you are not connecting a coffee pot you will be alright.

I picked up a black&decker tender! it came with 3types of pig tails! I mounted the one I needed!

Papi - you to go here:

About 20 pages of wires and adapters to do whatever want. I use an SAE plug on mine which is most universal and then plug adapters into that.

Just make sure the wire doesn't become the fuse.
